Tigers' Parker Meadows: Set to begin rehab assignment

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said on MLB Network Radio that Meadows (arm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Meadows has been ramping up his throwing lately as he works his way back from a nerve issue in his right arm, and he has been cleared to test things out in a game setting. The young outfielder didn't have a spring training, so the Tigers are likely to give him ample time on a rehab assignment to get sharp.
